Sami and her faces. |

This is actually after her second cut. She originally didn't want to cut it so we trimmed it. When Amanda was done Sami started complaining saying it she wanted it like Coraline. |

Amanda having to cut it, AGAIN. This is when Sami finally was asking for the Coraline cut. |

Coraline, we owe you! |
Most people who know me know that I am not a fan of long hair. I don't like it all. Not saying girls with long hair don't look nice, some girls have gorgeous long locks but they're not for me. I think it has to do with the fact that when I was a kid my pop's refused to let me cut my hair. I use to cry and cry and my dad wouldn't budge. I remember for my second grade pictures I tucked my hair inside my dress and kind of pulled it out a little bit to give the impression I had short hair. I loved those pictures.
One day, I think my mom either felt sorry for me or got tired of hearing me whine so, she took me to chop off my hair. I was beyond happy! My dad on the other hand, not so much. He went 3 days without talking to my mother for that little number. I remember feeling bad but my mom said it was my hair and I should be able to do what I want. That, and my mom isn't a fan of long hair either.
Flash forward 20+ years and I am faced with the same predicament. Only difference is the person who didn't want to see the weave go was the person with the weave. For almost a year Mr. Andrade and I begged, pleaded and even bribed Sam into chopping off her hair. She'd always get pissed and say no, no, NO! She said if she cut off her hair she wouldn't be beautiful like The Little Mermaid or Rapunzel. She seriously thought she was all bad with her long hair.
The day Mr. Andrade and I had been waiting so long for finally came. Sami wanted to cut her hair! All it took was the movie Coraline. Had I known this back then I would had bought her dolls and movie posters! Either way, I'm happy she finally agreed and is happy with her new hairstyle. Now we have to figure out how to convince her to hold off on the blue hair. She keeps asking for blue hair! Now I know how my mom felt when I was in high school.
too cute!!
